Thank you for visiting my website…

My name is Juan Gallego, and I am a student at Stratford University, enrolled in the in the Doctor of Business Administration/Information Technology Program. The reason for my website is first, as a required academic exercise for the course, and secondly as a vehicle through which to promote my eventual goal of becoming a consultant in the field of technology, as it applies to both training and education.This site began as part of the Qualitative Research and Academic Writing module of my Stratford University program, with the intent of maintaining the site throughout my studies, and then beyond graduation. On this website, you can find out more about me, as well as read, comment, or critique my writing exercises.

Another way of looking at it - Training versus Education

Merriam-Webster (2016) defines learning as “…gaining knowledge or skill…” This definition encapsulates both Education which is about gaining knowledge and understanding, whereas Training focuses on teaching a skill.

While these three words are often used interchangeably, they are not synonymous, or as Professor Peter Rickman (2004) suggests; "There is a big difference between sex education and sex training."
